Psalms 73:13-15

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 73:13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean. The singer feels that it has been worthless to practice faithfulness. The faithful are stricken, all the day long, in contrast to the arrogant, who “are not stricken like the rest of mankind” (v. Psalms 73:5). The singer recognizes, however, that to put his bitter feelings into words would have betrayed the generation of your children, that is, would undermine others’ faith.
